From: Arianna Avanzini <avanzini.arianna@gmail.com>

This patch converts xen-blkfront driver to use the block multiqueue APIs.
Only one hardware queue is used now, so there is no performance change.

The legacy non-mq code was deleted completely which is the same as other drivers
like virtio, mtip, and nvme.

Also dropped unnecessary holding of info->io_lock when calling into blk-mq APIs.

Yeey!

Two points:

 - The io_lock is now used to guard against concurrent access to the ring.
   We should rename it to 'ring_lock'.

 - The kick_pending_request_queues should have an extra argument - 'bool locked'.
   This is so that you don't drop and immediately grab the lock from the blkif_interrupt.

In kick_pending_request_queues(), the lock have to be dropped before calling blk_mq_start_stopped_hw_queues().

 static void kick_pending_request_queues(struct blkfront_info *info)

The 'locked' parameter can be used to tell the function to not take the lock.

But it would drop the lock in both cases.

Konrad,

no conditional locking please.  Split the functionality up in multiple
functions if you may call with or without a lock held.
